However, I WOULD like them to also add "due to the fact that Michael Jackson was framed and was in no way a criminal..." as a reason for uncovering his name. But I'm just glad it's back in the LIGHT where it belongs...
I just hit "Send" on the following email to Oprah Winfrey on her website and I encourage you to do the same:Michael Jackson was innocent of ALL child molestation charges brought against him. This is at last coming to light after his death. He is finally and rightfully being vindicated. There is a grade school in Los Angeles that he attended as a 6th grader whose auditorium was named after him in 1989 before the first accusations of child molestation were brought in 1993. After the accusations, his name was shamefully covered up. Fast forward SEVENTEEN YEARS, FIVE YEARS AFTER HIS ACQUITTAL ON SAID CHARGES AND OVER A YEAR AFTER HIS DEATH...just today, the LA Unified School District has decided to uncover his name to honor his unprecedented artistic tachievements and humanitarian work...*************************************************************************************************October 15, 2010Los Angeles — The silver, foot-high letters gleam once again, proclaiming The Michael Jackson Auditorium at Gardner Street Elementary School in Hollywood. It is the last public school attended by Jackson—then an 11-year-old sixth grader — who was the lead in a singing group with his brothers. Three months after school started, Motown released their debut album “Diana Ross Presents the Jackson 5.” And, the young entertainer was on his way to becoming an international star. “It’s important for the District to value the artistic impact and humanitarian contribution that will be the lasting legacy of Michael Jackson,” said Los Angeles School Board member Steven Zimmer. I’m happy that we will be recognizing and appreciating Michael’s LAUSD moment.” The sign was originally unveiled at the then newly-refurbished auditorium in 1989. However, when the King of Pop was charged with child molestation, the sign was covered with layered board. For the record, the entertainer was never convicted. After his death last year fans began a campaign to have his name revealed. At the direction of Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Ramon C. Cortines, the tribute was uncovered today. “In recognition of Michael Jackson’s musical legacy and contribution to modern culture I have directed our maintenance and operations department to remove the layered board covering the tribute to Mr. Jackson at Gardner Street Elementary School in Hollywood,” said LAUSD Superintendent Ramon Cortines. (Los Angeles Unified School District Press Release).......So here is my question to you, Oprah....will you report this and more importantly, will you encourage the mainstream media to report this? You have a unique power to influence public opinion. It is time for you, and the world at large, to right a terrible wrong that has been done to one of the most beautiful spirits to ever walk the planet. Please do the right thing, Oprah! Share this with the world! Please do what you can to FINALLY vindicate the good name of Michael Jackson! Thank You!************************************************************************************************
